Getting this photo was much easier than before I owned my Nikon D750. You see to actually see what you are shooting while your camera in on the ground is almost impossible. You can use the
Nikon DR-6 Rectangular Right Angle Viewfinder which costs $265 and put this on your Nikon D750.
It attaches to the viewfinder and you can then bend over really low, lay on the ground close, for these type of photos I took this morning here of mushrooms growing in our yard.

My technique didn't require any other purchases. I just flipped out the LCD screen and put the camera in LIVE MODE and was able to squat rather than lay on the ground. By the way the sprinklers had run this morning so I wasn't interested in laying on the wet ground.

Here you can see that the camera is on the ground and I am able to see all the settings and see well enough to compose my shot.

To get these photos I was in Aperture Mode. I am also using Auto ISO with the range being ISO 200 – 12800. The shutter speed in Auto ISO is set to 1/500. I started shooting at ƒ/5.6, but because I was so close the Depth-of-field was a little too shallow, so I closed it down one ƒ-stop to ƒ/8.
This was one of those unexpected moments you wake up to and enjoy.
By getting so low to the ground for what we call the worm's eye view we were able to look up to the mushrooms.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
